Odds-on Favorite?

January 31, 1993

Australia has its first female bookie. Jocelyn Barnes, 27, who trained as a nuclear-medicine technologist, works at Sydney's Royal Randwick racecourse, where officials don't allow her to join male colleagues in the bookies' section, deeming it too rough-and-tumble for a "lady." Instead, Barnes has her own corner in a more refined members-only section of the stands.
